The Week with Mark Sutcliffe
June 13, 2010
The halls of Parliament were buzzing with talk of a Liberal–NDP merger to form a new political party. Leaders from both parties were quick to deny any talks were taking place. Mark talks with a leading political scientist Professor Emeritus Ned Franks about the possibilities of either a merger of the two parties or options for a coalition following the next election. Reforms to Canada's refugee claimant system were announced this week which promises to make the process faster and fairer. The government hammered out a compromise with the opposition parties to arrive at a deal. NDP Immigration critic Olivia Chow explains the new policies and how the parties worked together to reach a compromise. Also this week, The Globe and Mail's Gloria Galloway discusses these stories and other political news from the week with host Mark Sutcliffe this week on "The Week."
